Resume experience?
So I'm about to enter my junior year of college as an IE & besides school and some minor certifications I have no other work experience besides my high school job as a lifeguard. Any tips on how to expand my experience section on my resume? I've been trying to get internships since my freshman year & failing, and I believe my lack of experience has been the reason why.
Everywhere I look online for internship advice has just been "Enhance your experience section and talk about something quantifiable! Do some projects in your free time that you can showcase in your portfolio" But like... I don't have any relevant experience besides a class project here & there and I can't seem to get any relevant experience BECAUSE my lack of experience, and I can't find any projects that are actually affordable for me to do.
Additionally I'm just having a really hard time getting any work experience generally even outside of engineering. I go to school in a really densely populated area which definitely isn't helping but I can't even get jobs at restaurants or fast food places. I don't think my resume is that bad for what experience I have.
